Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 200 grams glutinous rice flour
  • 5 grams salt

      • Wet Ingredients

      • 1/2 cup whole milk
      • 1/4 cup light olive oil
      • 1 egg, slightly beaten

      Cheese and Add-ins

      • 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
      • 45 grams grated cheddar cheese
      • 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the mochi bread.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk and light olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir using a spoon or mixer until the mixture clumps into small pellets.
  4. Incorporate Egg: Add the slightly beaten egg to the bowl. Beat or mix thoroughly until you form a cohesive dough.
  5. Add Cheese and Green Onions: Stir in the grated Parmesan, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions (if using) evenly throughout the dough with a spatula or spoon.
  6. Shape Dough: Dust your work surface and hands with glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking. Lightly shape the dough into a flat disc.
  7. Divide and Roll: Cut the dough disc into 8 equal wedges. Roll each wedge into a ball by hand.
  8. Bake: Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until you notice cracks on the surface and the breads are lightly golden.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the mochi bread to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their chewy and cheesy deliciousness.

Notes

  • Glutinous rice flour is essential for the chewy texture typical of mochi bread; do not substitute with regular rice flour.
  • The cheeses can be varied based on preference; mozzarella or gouda can be used instead of cheddar or Parmesan.
  • Chopped green onions are optional but add a nice fresh flavor balance to the richness of the cheeses.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking and proper rise.
  • These breads are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a warm oven or toaster oven to regain softness.
